Yet, here we are unnaturally trying to force our own opinions on each other.

Please tell me what knowledge you were born with.
That’s still part of nature.

I’m the knowledge.
I eat when I’m hungry.
I sleep when I feel sleepy.
I drink when I’m thirsty.

Everything happens naturally.
In a honey bee colony, the selection of the queen bee is a natural process carried out by the bees themselves.

We are all acting a persons.

You sure as hell would not let me perform heart surgery on you if my claim to knowing how to was I was born with knowledge of performing heart surgery on Maynmann.

What you list above is knowledge that you were taught and acquired and not knowledge you were born with, and it definitely is not knowledge about the universe nor nature outside your own needs. But if you are claiming that's your answer to my question, buda rests.

Justice is doing one own job.
You are not a heart surgeon why would you do a heart surgery on me?
I want a heart surgeon to do a surgery on me not someone that pretends to be one.

Eating when hungry, sleeping when sleepy, and drinking when thirsty—natural bodily functions.
I wonder who taught my heart how to beat wink

That is what hearts have evolved to do, enable your body to pump oxygen around your body.

But perhaps the God who created you taught it. What do you think?

Exactly an heart is doing what is supposed to do on his own naturally.

What you Maynmann do is not what you are supposed to do! Nothing commands you to do what you do! You are no one or things slave! Every day you wake up when you have decided to wake up, and everything you do is what you have decided to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong please.

The function of living is for the soul, and living is a craft, the soul will do what it’s supposed to do naturally.

"For example, the individual who selects one of the professions such as medicine, dentistry, law, the priesthood or any other profession must meet these same prerequisites for success".

Do you see why you wouldn't let me woo does have the "prerequisites for success" in heart surgery to perform heart surgery on you?

When studying for a profession the student must give all of his or her time, both day and evenings, until fully prepared to actively enter the profession. They cannot permit business, social affairs or others to interfere with their study.

And do you see why it is "special knowledge" that no one can possibly be born with and that can only be acquired through dedication, focus and hard work?

As long as you are a doctor you must do your job as a doctor.
As long as you are a engineer you must do your job as an engineer.
Everyone should mind their craft and do their job, no special knowledge.
Knowledge is knowledge that has different forms.

Mayn, have you read any D T Suzuki?

His Essays in Zen Buddhism are rather informative on how knowledge is taught and acquired, and are my favourites. They teach the opposite of "the soul will do what it’s supposed to do naturally", and actually teach one to be master of one's own being.

Wisdom is the same, it’s never personalized Bud.

Being? Look up the origin of the word.
The universe is the being.

"Should" by whom, and why should one? Can or should a person not go and do the work to learn to do heart surgery and also learn to fly planes and be a cobbler if they want to?

Who made this your "should mind their own craft and do their job" rule?

A doctor should be a doctor and a carpenter should be a carpenter.

So, you have not read D T Suzuki, and are just throwing terms at me that you do not understand but think you were naturally born with the knowledge of?

Well, just so we are clear, buda is buda specifically because buda has studied Buddhism and Zen and specifically the works of D T Suzuki, and was not born with any knowledge that buda has.

That's like saying Maynmann should not talk about things he has no special knowledge of, but I'm certain and hope you'd disagree.

No it’s not bud.
If I don’t have knowledge of it I don’t.
That’s why socrates was termed the wisest man, he knows that he does not know.

No, May, it's not about being anyone's saguna brahma, but about not talking about things one is not knowledgeable of.

If one talks about things one has no knowledge of, those who have knowledge would clearly see they have no knowledge.

I expect this sort of juvenility from triple and I'm very sad to see it coming from you.

Occult means "mystical, supernatural, or magical powers, practices, or phenomena", none of which buda has claimed to possess.

Please know that not agreeing with you does not mean one does not understand what you are saying.

Explain how you can have knowledge of what you are ignorant of please.

Take you. You are obviously ignorant of the writings of DT Suzuki, having not read any of his books, so how is it that you are claiming knowledge of what DT Suzuki wrote?

Are you acting as a person, perhaps? If so, you are obviously not recognising nor admitting your ignorance, and are even claiming you were born with knowledge you obviously lack.

it aligns with Socrates' philosophy and his famous statement, "I know that I am intelligent because I know that I know nothing."

In Socratic philosophy, the recognition of one's own ignorance is considered the first step towards genuine knowledge. By acknowledging what one does not know, it opens the door to questioning, learning, and seeking wisdom. Socrates believed that true knowledge involves a constant process of inquiry, examination, and the pursuit of understanding.

I haven’t mentioned DT Suzuki in my statement 😂

Yes we are all acting a person.

Like you don't need to read the wiki page you posted because it contains knowledge you were born with?

Mayn! If you have not read a book about Ziran, then you are talking ignorantly when you mention it! And you've done that with Plato, which you have obviously not read, which just makes me think you like talking about things you know nothing about.

And for your information, it's Ziran, and not "ziren", and in Daoism it means a whole lot more than just "nature".
